USD/CHF Weakens, US Dollar Leads
The USD/CHF currency pair fell on December 16, 2025, amid continued US dollar weakness in global markets. The dollar briefly approached a two-month low as investors awaited key economic data from the US, including the pending employment report, as well as more dovish or moderate policy signals from the Federal Reserve. This pressure on the dollar strengthened the Swiss franc relative to the USD, causing USD/CHF to fall below the psychological level of around 0.80.
Furthermore, the Swiss National Bank's (SNB) decision to maintain interest rates at 0% without major changes also supported the Swiss franc's attractiveness as a safe-haven asset. Amid cautious market sentiment and global economic uncertainty, investors tend to seek refuge in more stable currencies like the franc, which also weighed on the USD/CHF pair. This movement reflects broader risks in the forex market, where the US dollar faces pressure from expectations of potential interest rate cuts and uncertain economic data. (az)
